Trustees focus on e-learning programme

A series of focus groups organised by the Pensions Regulator has provided positive feedback on the regulator's proposed e-learning programme.

Volunteer trustees taking part in the sessions held last month completed specimen pages from the e-learning programme. The small focus groups were held to help assess the material that has been developed so far, and gain feedback to be used in ongoing development.

According to the Pensions Regulator, the overwhelming majority of trustees said they would recommend the interactive learning to both new and existing trustees, describing the programme as "powerful and effective" and accessible to even those users without a very high level of knowledge.

Other comments were that the examples used were realistic, for example accurately depicting "what a trustee meeting is really like," and that "the style kept it interesting".

The Pensions Regulator said that the first part of the e-learning programme will be available in January 2006 and will cover the responsibility of trustees in relation to trust law, and in relation to pensions law. The remainder of the programme will be delivered later in 2006. The regulator added that successful completion of all the modules will help trustees meet the requirements for trustee knowledge and understanding set out in the 2004 Pensions Act.
